Default Cell Orientation

Hi all,

 

By Excel text orientation is General Bottom. That is when tet is wrapped it goes to the left and bottom of the cell.

I prefer mine to be General Top. How can I make this the default so that I do not have to do it every time?

    Find Book.xlt in one of these folders

    C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates
    C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\OFFICEx\XLSTART

    Then edit the Noreal Style to control that orientation and resave it. I believe from then on that will be your default.

    Before doing any entering of value in the cells, first of all, select all cells, go to Format Cells -
    Alignment -
    Horizontal -Select Left
    Vertical - Select Top.
    Do OK.

    Now start inputting value. Your default wrap will now should be Top Left.
